The morning sun reached the bedside as always, slightly dazzling, with the warmth and the smell of flowers that had gradually thinned from the outside world.

The flowering period of this flower is very long, perhaps because of the existence of soul power in this world, and its flowering period is more than two months, from May to July.

Lu Ming likes this kind of thin smell of air, oxygen enters the lungs and combines with the blood in the alveoli area, and then spreads all over the body, like a sprinkled sun, warm and comfortable.

Lu Ming, who finished carving the stone and eating breakfast, looked at the store in front of the counter, and Xiao Li and Old Man Lu were cooking snacks for the guests in the back kitchen.

There are always some drunkards in Xingluo City, and they can't stand the attraction of alcohol in the morning, so they come to the tavern to have a breakfast, accompanied by two cloudy wines, which looks quite comfortable.

Eat some peanuts, with some snacks and snacks, and talk in a whisper about some after-dinner conversations, most of which is how much money is earned, what has happened in Xingluo City recently, or point out the country, and talk about tactics on the battlefield.

"Hey, I heard that Star Luo City has not been very peaceful recently, the battle ahead has become tight, and many high-level soul masters have been sent to the front line."

"But it's not, I'll tell you something, don't tell anyone else, I heard that a family in the south of the city was killed yesterday, and now I'm looking for a murderer, which makes people panic."

......

All kinds of noisy chatters were mixed with half-truths and half-truths of folklore, and gossip reached Lu Ming's ears. It's funny, like listening to a story, exaggerated and funny, with a little bit of mystery.

His fingers kept tapping on the table, and the boring time made Lu Ming's thoughts wander in the clouds.

"Little brother, I'll be able to find it."

A familiar figure emerged from the doorway, the Marquis whom he had once seen, with an attendant behind him, dressed in ostentatious and splendid clothes, and wearing the coat of arms.

The voice of the drinkers in the store also stopped, carefully looked at the clothes of the visitors, and then saw the badge, several people tacitly stopped talking, and hastily ate two bites and left.

"How can the Marquis have time to come to the shop, it really makes the shop shine", Lu Ming flattered, but he was secretly muttering to himself the Marquis's intention.

"Lord Marquis, please go to the private room and take a seat", Lu Ming picked up the towel next to him and wiped the table, and pointed to the private room next to him where few people had been.

As soon as he wanted to bow, he was pulled up by the marquis, "Look, you see the outside, I said you have this privilege." ”

"Thank you Lord Marquis for your love, please wait a moment and let the shop have a good reception?" Lu Ming led the marquis to the private room next to him. Speaking loudly, he couldn't figure out the purpose of the marquis, so he had to remind Old Man Lu and let Old Man Lu deal with this trouble.

"Grandpa, that marquis is here", Lu Ming then walked quickly to the kitchen and whispered to Old Man Lu what had just happened.

"Why is he here, Xiao Li, you go home, the tavern is not open today", Old Man Lu frowned, paused after speaking, and began to cook some good dishes, muttering a few vague words in his mouth while cooking.

"Xiao Ming, don't talk too much for a while, look at my face and act", Old Man Lu served a plate of dishes and handed it to Lu Ming, holding two pots of turbid wine in his hands.

"Lord Marquis came today to make the small shop flourish, the shop is simple, there is no delicacies to entertain Lord Marquis, please forgive Lord Marquis", Old Man Lu put the dishes on the table, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said a few words of flattery.

"Don't just stand still, eat together, eat together, don't see outside", the marquis waved his hand at the two of them, a smile on his face.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate", Old Man Lu gave Lu Ming a look, and the two sat down together, facing the Marquis, while the entourage stood beside him, like a dead corpse, without even a facial expression.

Lu Ming and Old Man Lu just sat quietly, did not move their chopsticks, did not speak, just sat next to them and watched the marquis pick a few mouthfuls of each dish, and from time to time put on two flattering words.

"It's been more than a month since Xiaoyou, and I see that the business in the store hasn't been very busy recently, so it's better to enroll in school as soon as possible, it's not good to delay your studies", the marquis ate two bites of food, and finally said what he meant.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, I see that the old man is also old, why don't I buy this tavern at a high price, the old man can also enjoy his old age with this money, and Xiaoyou's studies will not be affected", the marquis said as he took out a black card from his pocket.

Lu Ming knew that this kind of card was a form similar to a savings card issued by the official bank of the Star Luo Empire, made of some kind of special soul guide.

"There are 10,000 gold soul coins inside, the old man can't see it", the marquis pushed the card in front of the old man Lu with a smile.

This amount is already exaggerated, and the houses in Star Luo City are sold according to the title deed. The area of the old man and the old man Lu's tavern is a standard one acre, and the price is generally less than one thousand gold soul coins, but the price offered by the marquis has suddenly increased tenfold.

Old man Lu swallowed and spit, picked up the card and rubbed it in his hand, and carefully looked at the texture of the card under the oil lamp, his eyes were bloodshot.

"I'm sorry, Lord Marquis, this tavern is more important to us and our lords, it's not that we just sell it, even if the business is not good, we want to stay here", Old Man Lu put the card on the table again, pushed it to the marquis, and looked away from the card, it seems that there is some monster inside, and if he is not careful, he can lose his soul.

"Old man, you have to think about it, this is 10,000 gold soul coins", the marquis spoke again.

"No need, no need, Lord Marquis should take him away, we just want to stay in this tavern, An'an is alive", Old Man Lu gritted his teeth and spit out a sentence with all his strength.

"Oh? The old man is really good, quite tough", the marquis stood up, patted the old man Lu on the shoulder, and casually threw down two silver soul coins as cooking money, and the silver coins fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The food on the table was only a few chopsticks, steaming, and the cloudy liquor was still nested in the glass, as if it had just been arranged.

"If you encounter any difficulties one day, you can go to the Marquis's Mansion to ask me for help, this Xingluo City is also that Marquis's Mansion", the Marquis held a fan in his hand, lowered his head and smiled at Lu Ming.

Then he took his entourage, tilted his head, and got into the carriage under the gaze of Lu Ming and Old Man Lu.

"Congratulations to the Marquis", Old Man Lu looked at the Marquis who was sitting in the carriage, and hurriedly spoke, sending off this plague god.

The crisp sound of horses' hooves echoed through the streets with the sound of wheels rolling and creaking, and the carriage drifted away little by little with the sound.

"Xiao Ming, come and try grandma's flower cake, it's just steamed, it's hot, and you won't be able to eat it in a few days", Grandma Zheng next door saw Lu Ming's shadow and hurriedly waved her hand at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming took a piece of flower cake, and it was still the strong floral fragrance accompanied by the greasy sweetness, which was hot and steamed.

On the carriage in the distance, the gentle and elegant marquis's face was bruised, and he poked his head out slightly to look at the few people behind him.

"Little Liu, go back and find someone who is quick to do things, bring it to my house, I have something to hand over to him", then clenched his fists and carefully stroked the wrench on his hand.

......

In the silent tavern, Old Man Lu looked at Lu Ming, who was eating flower cakes and spitting hot air at the door, and slapped himself twice, and muttered a few dirty words in the middle.
